\u003cp\u003eFor over twenty years Sean Thomas Dougherty has negotiated between modernist and avant-garde writing and more populist traditions that extend back to Walt Whitman. His subject matter ranges from basketball to Bjork, from blue collar workers to Biggie Smalls, from Luciano Pavarotti to women waiting at a diner outside a prison in Upstate New York. Selecting from the best of eight previous collections, this \u003ci\u003eNew and Selected\u003c/i\u003e reveals the powerful arc and development of Dougherty's writing and establishes him as a voice of dissent for the future.\u003cp\u003eA former Fulbright fellow, \u003cb\u003eSean Thomas Dougherty\u003c/b\u003e works at Gold Crown Billiards in Erie, Pennsylvania.\u003cbr\u003e
